Coconut Cheesecake (Small/Single Servings)
Single or small serving recipes are great for individuals living alone or those who are the only ones living low carb/keto in the family. They are also great for portion control or to satisfy any last-minute cravings without worrying about leftovers. This no-bake coconut cheesecake is super easy to make and requires no gelatin as it is only a small amount. It is so flavorful, refreshing and delicious.
1. For best results, weigh the ingredients using a digital scale.
2. In the video, I used a 5x5 inch glass baking dish (see link above to purchase) which is greased and lined with parchment paper. I suggest you line the parchment paper fully as I only lined it partially and the cheesecake got stuck at the sides of the bottom. Luckily, I managed to remove it without damaging the cheesecake. As an option, I have also shown you how to use 2 small cups so just divide the dough and batter evenly. Of course, you can also use ramekins or any suitable molds.
3. For the crust, add the flour and salt into a small bowl and mix to combine. Then add the melted butter and mix until crumbly. Transfer into the glass dish, spread and flatten evenly. Set aside.
4. For the cheesecake filling, add the softened cream cheese into a bowl and mix until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sweetener and mix until smooth and creamy. Finally, add the cold coconut cream and extract (if using) and mix until smooth and creamy. Even though the coconut extract is optional, but it really elevates the coconut flavor which is so good. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and spread evenly. Top with toasted desiccated coconut generously and press down lightly to ensure they stick to the cheesecake.
5. Chill in the fridge for about 1 hour or until set. To set more quickly, freeze it for about 20 to 30 minutes or until set.
6. Cut the 5x5 inch coconut cheesecake into 4 servings. Just dig in with a spoon for the cup servings.
